This evening’s Members article takes a look over the action in Sunday’s Community Shield showdown between Arsenal and City. Having assessed Alexis Sanchez’ display our lunchtime Technical Area post, we delve into the data to discover for any hints of form ahead of the weekend Gameweek 1 deadline.
Palace could park the bus and Swans are probably gonna put up a fight against United. It's tough to go for Ramsey for the great initial fixture, but Mata has good long term value. What do you guys think. Ramsey or Mata? I have Rooney up top already. No other Arsenal coverage.

Will try again. Thoughts on Carlos Sanchez's price tag when this is confirmed?

I see. THIS Sanchez.
Open Controls
lol ah
Open Controls
You wombat
Open Controls
reading that it sounds like he's a DM
Who caresOpen ControlsDM, playing for a wonderful (but shit) team. 5m would be my guess.
Open ControlsAh okay. Would maybe have been tempted if he comes in at 4.5. If he's a proper DM though who never scores or assists, probably not
Open Controlswell, El Ahmadi is 4.5 so he could figure at that price - but i doubt it. El Ahmadi could be a right bargain btw, I'm slinging him in for those early fixtures. Never coming off my bench but if he scores, bandwagon price rises!
Open Controls
Well Demi sometimes even you need to try twice 😉
Open Controls
who's taking a wild punt or two? I currently have Wilson from MU
Open Controls
Tut tut
Open Controls
that's not a punt, it's a big mistake
Open Controls
Trippier for me
Open Controls
Schurle at 7.5m is a good buy, trust me. I am thinking of downgrading Fabregas..
Open Controls
Is he likely to start GW1 though? Doubtful surely?
Open ControlsHe will start 25-30 games this season. GW 1. Oscar isn't back still. Tonight was our first lineup. more or less
Open Controls
Oscar is a CAM, Schurrle plays on the wing.
Open ControlsSchurle plays in our winger. With Oscar our, Fabregas could play 7 and Hazard could cut inside. Our new lineup isn't sterile. Oscar not playing increases Schurle starting chances IMO def.
Even when Oscar comes back, Ramires could be out for the easier opponents. Something like:
Costa
Hazard Oscar Schurle
Fabs MaticOpen Controlsin out winger, stupid auto correct
Open Controls
Salah, Willian
Open Controls
I do hope he starts, had him as a punt in my very first draft, but I think it's wishful thinking. That said, I may well go for him if I decide to drop Yaya, in my holy trinity team.
Open Controls
yeah and Schurle pumped his ppm last year, Oscar is shite, Schurle is decent, even from the wing
Open Controls
hummmm
Open ControlsYes agreed Daniel..... Have heard he could be one of Chelsea's key players
Open ControlsHe definitely upped his game. had great second half of last season,. great world cup and it seems to me that he is the only natural goalscorer from midfield. He is our goal threat. I might even start with him... Considering it.
Was just waiting will he be fit in time. But Jose was forcing him in the friendly matches earlier in order to become match fit.
He didn't do that with Oscar !!!Open ControlsOscar is his blue eyed boy though, giving him a rest.
Open Controls
was just thinking about this change myself Daniel,
Open ControlsGive us a lot of cash to upgrade 3rd striker or getting decent defender.
Open ControlsI would have preferred Fabs playing further forward but it doesn't look like this is what is going to happen. Schurle is risky, Mourinho pulled him early a few times last season but if he can start well then he could be worth taking the risk with.
Open Controlsok Danny Boy, lets do this !!!!
Open Controls
Open Controls
Is Ashley Young and option or am i kidding myself?
Open Controls
The latter
Open Controls
A or B?
A: Hazard and Eriksen
B: Fabregas and RamseyOpen ControlsThat article has validated who I am selecting from city and arsenal. Good stuff.
Although I think I can hear a small but growing voice in my head 'kolorov, kolorov, kolorov'. Not the voices againOpen Controls
I'm doing Kelly Yoshida Bruce Chambers and one of Muniesa/Wilson, any stoke fans said anything? I heard Wilson will start the season until Huth is ready.
Open ControlsWhat a headache that will turn out to be after a week or two
Open Controls
Is anyone else getting nervous they don't have Yaya in their team. He's the one player I fear not having this season.
Open Controls
At last year's price, yes.
At 11.0 it means people with Yaya will be unlikely able to afford more of the "One in Four" mids for let's say 8.5-10.0m, so it could work either way to be fair.Open ControlsI think the money I save and use for other players will outweigh the points he will score
Open Controls
Fabregas & 2 x 5.0m defenders
OR
Hazard & 2 x 4.5m defenders?Open Controls
Go for DeGea or Jones?
Open Controls
Best defender rotation pairing for 9M? 🙂
Open ControlsCameron/ Taylor is one I like but it's hard to say whether Cameron will start GW1.
See NEW/ WBA also and I think Hull-QPR rotate well.Open ControlsChambers Naughton
Open Controls
Kelly and Ferdinand
Open Controlsnewcastle and Crystal rotate well after GW 1
Open Controls
O'Shea / Coloccini is pretty good
Open Controls
Pretty clear cut B
Open Controls
Sigurdsson.
Open Controls
Anyone know of who chelsea's back four will be?
Open ControlsIs Alex Bruce likely to start? Any Hull City fans about?
Open Controls
Hull fan here..In a 3 5 2 he is likely to start but in a 4 4 2 he's likely to be benched
Open ControlsWell, it seems like... oh wait, I'm not the one hull fan who may possibly frequent this site..
Open Controls
not nailed
chester, davies nailed and they just purchased another cbOpen ControlsOMG, Hull fans coming out everywhere
Open Controls
I'm a Hull fan, honestly.
And he isn't likely to start often.
Chester and Davies the two main centre backs. Just signed Harry Maguire from Sheffield United.
On the plus side for him, he is versatile and can fill in as a right back. And he's Steve Bruce's son, so probably gets more gametime than he deserves.
He'll be a utility player, also depends on how seriously we take the Europa League, if we get to the groups.Open Controls
All the Kardashian bints are fat ugly dogs. There, I said it
Open Controls
Begovic
Cahill Caulker Ward Wisdom Chester
What do you guys reckon of this backline?Open Controls
Call it who will get the most points in
Defence
Midfield
Forward
My predictions are
Cahill
Hazard
Van persieOpen ControlsBaines
Sanchez
AgueroOpen ControlsI'm out guys, that's enough internetting for one day.
Open Controls
Baines
Hazard

Hi guys, just your thoughts on my team and who I'm also thinking about.
Foster (Krul)
Lovren - Williamson - Figueroa (Bartley, Moore)
Mata - Fabregas - Rodwell - Lamela - Ramsey
Rooney - Costa (Bojan)
What are your thoughts on Sterling, Henderson, Caulker and Nasri?Open Controls
A) De Gea, Pieters, Mariappa/Kelly
B) Begovic, Ward, Caulker/Clyne
Which looks better? If B, Caulker or Clyne?
Thanks chapsOpen Controls
These would be my only Chelsea or City:
Dzeko and Fabregas or Jovetic and Hazard?
ThanksOpen Controls
Soooooo...
Log into my FPL team and see 3 yellow 75% injury flags... all of a sudden I don't feel so good about my side!
Koscielny, Evans and Lukaku... why you doing this to meeeee?Open ControlsRight, I'm off to bed, I'll leave you with a little something
